LA PAZ, Bolivia — The nation’s interior minister and his deputy have resigned over a police crackdown on a march protesting a planned jungle highway, which opponents say would despoil an indigenous preserve.

The weekend crackdown backfired, and police were forced to release hundreds of arrested protesters.

President Evo Morales has announced the suspension of the Brazil-funded highway and says its fate will rest with voters in the eastern region.
